damn... I was complaining that I had to buy a $100 calc... that I never used...

Yea thats what we were thinking, but this school is a very advanced environment in which we are pleased for our kids to have the chance to attend school here. SO we will come up with a way to cover the added expense, since the Gov pays for them to attend no matter what school we place them in. As it turns out the school also has a local Apple contract that offers nice discounts on more up to date refurbished Pro Macbooks as well. So each of them will be getting a used

(Pro Macbook 13" Intel I5 2.3 ghz, 4gb RAM, 320gb HD, Superdrive CD/DVD, Intel graphics HD 3000, full 2 year international Apple I-care warranty, and the school loads every program Apple offers and maintains them in their IT program while we are here for free.)

So even though it is an unexpected $$$$ burden at leat the retail value of the deal works out to be nearly $4K per laptop, and our total cost per laptop is $1300. Plus the laptops are ours to do with as we wish. I would say that is not too bad of a deal, and at European prices. Things are much more expensive here in Europe when you do a $$$ conversion. So we cannot complain.
